st. Joseph. Mo-, for two months, died
recently at the advanced age of 1O5
years. Gabriel was born July 10, 1882,
in Richmond, Va. For TWENTY-FIVE
years he was slave, and was owned
by a man named Randolph, relative
of John Randolph of Roanoke. In
1904 he purchased his freedom of his
master and went to New Haven, Conn.,,
where he lived until 1919. when he went
to Louisville, KY, where he married.
He was the father of nine children, all
of whom are dead. He has several
grandchildren in Kentucky, but did not
know where they resided. In 1859 he
went to st. Joseph, and has lived there
ever since. At the time of his death
he was in full possession of his facul-
ties. and but few minutes before pass

My father was well of, but had a
passionate love for my work, type
setting, and worked in the office of a
popular daily, much against his will.
The summer 1 was eighteen became
afflicted with singular disease. l was
very fair, with gray eyes and golden
brown hair. Those who cared for me
we're kind enough to call me fair to
look upon, and I loved my own face
because it gained love from others.
One day / discovered small black
spot upon my right ear. I wondered
over it very much, and when 1 saw it
grow from day to day, spreading over
my entire ear In few weeks, it made
me feel terribly.
arranged my hair in way to hide
it, but when it spread upon the side of
my face I gave up my place and went
home.
Father was frightened nearly to
death over my strange appearance, and
could scarcely believe it afforded me no
pain or inconvenience.
He would have me see physician,
80 at my entreaty he took me to great
doctor in New York. We carefully
concealed our identity, for was very
sensitive over the matter then.
The case puzzled the learned man,
and in fact we journeye1 from city to
city, prlzzling every onN we visited In
turn.
Some talked learnedly, usSeg q string
of unintelligible medical phra,es. But
none prescribed remedy. All the
time it grew and spread, until h,e' my
lace was covered.
Our constant travel, and seeing so
many strange doctors, and hearing ,he
matter SO fully discussed, had cured me
Of my foolish constituencies.
Of course I would not 90 out with
out q veil, but I ceased to worry and
cry over it, and could even make merry
about it. I,remember telling Chica-
go doctor, when my face was about

was big dose of 'arf and 'arf."
My chin became wholly black, and
over half of my forehead, but my nose
and the rest remained white. There il
stopped, and began spreading down

Then we noticed q difference in it.
From being natural the black skin be-
came velvety to the touch, like it some
times is on large mole or birth mark.
Oh, but ! was queer-looking body

One Idol Left.

A successful revivalist declared on
an occasion for the promotion of a
deeper conservation on the part of be-
levers, that he had known persons who
made high professions of sanctity, who
waxed happy and shouted Justify in
meetings, who yet, as soon as any real
self-denial was brought home to them,
suddenly and completely subsidized.
Hosannas languished on their tongues
and their devotion died. Name tobacco
and the inconsistency of the use of this
vile weed with the highest style of
piety, and if any of these happy breth-
rem chance to be addicted to the filthy
practice, you will find you have sud-
denly brought GOODNESS on them They
will be either mute or angry, or both.
Their ferver has instantly eked out.
Their harps are hung on the willows.
The appetite was not killed by thes hook
which annihilated innate depravity.
Such superficial christianity is a delu-
sion; this perfection, which is on the
lips only, and has no consistent, victo-
rious Life behind it. A brother dole
fully confessed that he had put every
thing on Gods altar but one-his cher
ished idol-his pipe. God don't want
your good-for-nothing, flthv pipe.
Throw it away, and your vile tobacco
with it, and come to Christ at once,
with all your heart-The Christian at
Work.

The story of the man who reared the
lions cub only to fall a victim To its
appetite when II was grownbld was
told by the Greek writer's for the lesson
which IL taught. The story of the
young grizzly, so far as IL goes, has the
same significance. Ii is told in the
American AgriculturdiiSt, as the sub.
stance of the talk of Professor B.
several years ago, on his return from a
government exploration III California:
The only live grizzly that | saw in
California was a young one In captiy-
ity, in small town, where our party
staid over night. went out TO the
stable 10 see how our horses were being
cared for. and in the yard | found q
young grizzly fastened by a chain.
A young grizzly Is a most comical
looking fellow, and this one seemed TO
invite familiarity. came near enough
To pat him on the head, and in SO doing
brought my leg no near that little
"Griz" could embrace il by his fore
paws. He was very affectionate, and
Rugged my leg more closely than
cared for, but | knew that IL would not
do TO pull away from him. Soon the
cub made demonstrations with his
teeth. AS long as he nipped at my
tall knee boots he did no harm, but, as
his nips came higher and higher up,
his endearments would cease TO be
pleasant.
At last stableman came In sight /;
ne took in the situation at once. Pick
ing up club, be came quietly behind
the young bear, and gave him such a
clip that he suddenly lost all interest
In my leg, but at once commenced to
nurse his own head.

age"

A correspondent Of the Hartford
Times gives this instance Of the cum
ming Of fox;
last week. when the ground was
frozen but bare Of snow, put .
broody hen under strong. heavy
chicken coop. to break her up. The
coop was boarded on one side and
lathed on the other-the lower lathe
within an inch from the ground, which
was smooth but sloping with furrow-
like depression, few inches deep,
about two feet up the slope.
.In the morning the hen was gone.
The coop stood right over the depres-
sion--the laths bearing numerous Inn
pressions of an animals teeth, and the
small one at the apex was scratched
by his claws.
HE wasted no strength on the board
side trying to push the coop over up
hill, but he tried his best on the other
side; but, failing. he bit AMI tore at
the laths to break them, and finally
drew the coop up the hill over the hol-
low, drew out the hen and made Oft,
leaving no blood, very few feathers,
and only three of his hairs on the
laths."
